The Story of Buddy Guy tickets

Blues guitarist Buddy Guy has been the main influence on some of rock music's greatest: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name a few. And through his storied career, Buddy Guy has established himself as one of the greatest bluesmen of all time, named such by Rolling Stone magazine. He is the go-to man in Chicago blues style, having resumed the throne from his predecessor Muddy Waters. Born in 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana, Guy began forming bands in the early 1950s, then moved to Chicago in 1957, where he came under the monumental influence of all-time great Muddy Waters. When you pick up Buddy Guy tickets and see him live on stage, you will witness one of the blues' and rock's biggest showmen. After overcoming debilitating stage fright when he first started performing, Guy has rebounded to become a consummate stage presence, teasing the crowd with his antics, his audience-pleasing vocals, interactions, and his impeccable guitar licks.

Still, his biggest public recognition after his 1991 alubm Damn Right, I've Got the Blues, his first recording in 10 years, a commercial and critical smash. Since then, Buddy Guy has been on a tear, winning a Grammy in 2010 for his album Living Proof.
